In striving for perfection what really happens is... I quit - or don't even start! I get a germ of an idea, try something, it doesn't turn out as perfectly as I imagined, so I quit...
What cracked me open was... the stroke - it's hard to be perfect when half your body is paralyzed...
10 things I can offer right now, imperfectly...
- Patience
- Kindness
- A listening ear
- A listening heart
- A record of my thoughts
- Honesty
- Openness to Spirit
- No judgements
- Time - as long as my family needs me today, as long as the Work needs me today
- Belief that this is Enough

DeleteI think my first comment disappeared!!! What I'd written in the previous comment was that this is so luscious. SO full of vulnerability and honesty and depth. Just adoring this share, and again super grateful that we've connected!
